Rules are few — and vary from household to household — when it comes to cooking up this regional dish. Like a lot of the best northern mexican cuisine (tacos, burritos, etc) discada originated with the peasants and cowboys …

A summer furniture staple is the folding chair — and every region has its own take. We’re looking at folding chairs in the Midwest and on the West Coast. Fold them up, stash them under your arm or throw them in the trunk. Folding chairs are made for summer concerts and barbecues.

They vary in material, location and price. Check out both and tell us which one you would choose …

I spent this past weekend welcoming stoop sale season with open arms and an open wallet.

So I strapped on a pair of comfy sandals and trekked through the neighborhood — and the day was a success. As stoop sale season continues, you’ll want to keep your eyes out for finds in your own neighborhood, free or otherwise. I spent a total of $20.50 and walked home with a vintage tin, two pieces of army surplus goods, a nearly new pair of Timberland boots, a wood engraver and a handkerchief featuring the map of Los Angeles …
